不行真正道,随邪号行婆。
口慙神佛少,心怀嫉妬多。
背后噇鱼肉,人前念佛陀。
如此修身处,难应避奈何。
— 寒山
(文殊菩萨化身)
Not practising the true and right path, following evil ‘orders’ of old ‘practising’ (wo)men. With mouths shamefully having gods and Buddhas little, and minds embracing jealousy much. Behind backs eating fish and meat extravagantly, before people reciting the Buddha’s name. In situations like these having self-cultivation, how should difficulties be avoided?
— Hánshān
(Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva’s Manifestation)
